Vivi already met the personnel of Beacon Group before attending this event and also understood that Wynn was the chairwoman of Beacon Group. Vivi had always been very confident about her figure and beauty, but now, she was looking at Wynn with a trace of hostility. She loved a challenge! Wynn smiled slightly and looked at Vivi who stood in front of her. This woman was a big star. She was still contemplating whether to greet the other party or not and was just about to reach out when Vivi had already taken the lead in stretching out a slender little hand. “Hello, I know you. You’re Chairwoman Wynn Johnston of Beacon Group.” Vivi was full of smiles and looked extremely friendly. Wynn was taken aback slightly. Why did this superstar who just returned from abroad put herself down and showed her such courtesy? Her actions did not make any sense, puzzling Wyn. Strong rival! Since the other party showed her courtesy, she needed to do the same. Wynn nodded and said with a sof
“I’m sorry, but I’ve no idea what you’re talking about,” Philip said calmly as his eyes twitched. His expression was slightly cold. Vivi was silent for a moment before stretching out her hand and smiling warmly. “Oh, it’s okay. I might be mistaken, but I really seem to have met you somewhere before.” The audience went into an uproar at those words! Everyone’s jaw dropped wide enough that it could fit an egg! Vivi Joo took the initiative to greet a man and said she had met him somewhere before! She even repeated the same sentence twice! This was simply every man’s dream! Moreover, this opening remark sounded familiar. Following that, under everyone’s astonished gaze, Philip glanced at Vivi indifferently. He said disdainfully, “I say, Miss Joo, do we really know each other? Your pickup line is too old-fashioned. Can you try something more creative next time?” Philip's joke undoubtedly detonated the whole hall's discussion! Too c*cky for words! How could he say such
Wynn looked at Philip weirdly at this time. When the latter noticed that, he shuddered and asked weakly, “Don’t look at me like that. I feel very puzzled too. Wynnie, it’s really not what you think.” “You still say you don’t know her?” Wynn said coldly, looking exactly like a cat that got its tail stepped on. She was about to throw a hissy fit. “I don’t. How could I? She’s an international superstar!” Philip shook his head and said with certainty. “Go on upstairs and have a fruitful chat with your international superstar,” Wynn said lightly, her tone slightly cold. “Ah, what are you saying? No way, even you don’t believe me?” Philip thought his ears had to be playing tricks on him. What happened to Wynn? Was she jealous? “I'll go home by myself in a while. You don't need to come down to see me off.” After Wynn finished speaking, she held the skirt of her evening dress up and walked out of the hall. She felt very upset at this moment. Philip Clarke dared to fool around
Jaden gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t know how you got the information about my great-grandfather, but I’ll tell you this, don’t try to scare me! I’m not afraid of you! Also, I won’t agree to your terms!” What a joke. How could Jaden give up this opportunity to bring Cynthia down so easily? Impossible! Besides, the news about Cynthia’s mother was his trump card. He would never hand it over! “Oh, in that case, there’s no discussion then.” Philip snickered coldly with chills in his eyes, looking at Jaden who just got up from the ground. As soon as Jaden made eye contact with Philip, goosebumps spread all over his skin and his body turned cold as if he was being watched by a tiger. “You!” Jaden shouted. As soon as his voice fell, Philip went up and kicked him again! With this kick, Jaden felt that he was almost dead. His ribs seemed to be broken in his chest. The pressure made him unable to breathe! “Jaden Larson, you still don’t understand your situation? Don’t t
Philip flicked a glance at the dazed Cynthia and fished something out of his pocket. A glassy jade bangle! Since the last incident with Martha Yates, he had always kept it with him. When the bangle appeared, both Jaden and Cynthia were dumbstruck! They recognized this jade bangle! This was the token given by the Clarke family to the Larson family back then. It was originally a pair and there was another one in the family. The other jade bangle was taken out when Great-grandfather celebrated his 90th birthday. Basically, all members of the Larson family at the core level knew the value of this jade bangle. Moreover, Grandaunt’s name, Charlotte Larson, was engraved on the inside of the bangle. “You’re really Grandaunt’s son?” Jaden was flustered and truly in a panic! What the hell?! Although the Larson family had withdrawn from the mainland, they still knew a little about the Clarke family. However, due to family restrictions, they hardly had contact with the Cl
Philip did not expect Wynn to appear at this time and overhear the conversation between him and Cynthia. He was taken aback. How was he going to explain this? Cynthia seemed to notice Philip’s hesitation and quickly explained, “Miss Johnston, you got it wrong. I was talking to Philip about Beacon’s new drug. Actually, I want to cooperate with you as a representative of the Larson family.” When Wynn heard that it was about cooperation, she immediately became interested. The two women quickly started talking. In the end, Wynn even expressed her dissatisfaction toward Philip. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Philip chuckled and said, “Well, I’m just trying to observe them for a little while.” Wynn rolled her eyes at him and said, “Let’s go home.” Philip did not move. He glanced at Cynthia and said, “I’ve something to deal with. Let Miss Larson send you home.” “What is it?” Wynn suddenly became nervous as she thought of Vivi Joo's invitation to Philip just now. Phi
“Nothing much. I just want to see for myself what kind of person is this so-called Young Master Clarke.” Vivi said, “Hehe, you're the first man to see me wearing this while still keeping calm.” Calm? “Don’t talk to me about such useless things. A superstar like you invited me to your suite late at night. Now, you’re dressed like this just to see what kind of person I am?” Philip tried his best to shift his gaze away from Vivi. Really, she was going to be the death of him. “Well, you can say that I’m trying to get close to you, but I’m really just being curious.” Vivi said with a smile, “I’m curious to find out how you kicked the Quaid family out of Capital City and how you’re planning to deal with the Hane family. Maybe, I just want to know the location of Arcadia Island.” “You’re playing with fire! The Joo family too!” Philip’s eyes froze over! Vivi shuddered. Seeing Philip’s frosty gaze, she suddenly realized she overdid it. Moreover, she was alone in this suite. If
Philip hastily chased after her till he was outside, but after he turned a corner, there was no sign of that person.Philip searched around frantically. However, that figure seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Why? Was that Hannah? Philip grabbed his hair and felt confused. What exactly was going on? Suddenly, Cynthia appeared, and her words sounded full of meaning as she joked with him. However. She noticed that Philip seemed unwell and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Ahem.” Philip coughed drily, forced out a smile, and touched his nose as he said, “Nothing. The other party was just too enthusiastic. People who’ve returned from abroad are different indeed.” “Be careful or I’ll tell Wynn what you just said!” Cynthia glared at him contemptuously. “I’ve sent your wife home safely. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back too.” Cynthia turned around and looked suspiciously at Philip again. “Are you really okay? I can’t help feeling that you’re troubled by somethi
“You want the merfolk's pearl, but the fish creatures haven't given it to me yet. I don’t have it right now. Even if you defeat me, what’s the point? The fish creatures can run with it while you’re distracted. It’ll be a waste of time for you to fight me,” Philip said. He was really worried about Tom’s IQ. He could understand if he attacked Moby instead. “The thing is in Moby’s hand, but you want to attack me instead of dealing with him. Is it because you can't get the woman of your dreams?” Philip had a sharp tongue, and Tom trembled at his words. Philip dared to humiliate him like this. However, Philip had a point. He should deal with Moby instead. He was just annoyed that his beloved Marina liked Philip. Tom was infuriated by Philip’s words and attacked him. He had to kill Philip at all costs and show Marina the scene of Philip's defeat. The two were quickly engaged in a fight, and Tom moved fluidly in this disgusting swamp. Philip maintained a superior position and foug
“This is an agreement between me and Chief Moray. It’s not up to you.” After saying this, Tom took out a sharp dagger from his pocket. Philip thought Tom was going to attack him, but Tom used the dagger to cut himself instead, leaving everyone wondering what he was doing. After injuring himself, he took out a bottle of potion and poured it on the wound, which healed in a few seconds. Philip was surprised by the rapid recovery. The potion had to be a treasure. At this time, everyone realized that Tom's strength was increasing rapidly to the point of being daunting. Aslan stepped back cautiously, surprised by this unexpected turn. He had always been a fearless person, but he felt a sense of oppression from this weak person. It proved that the potion was powerful enough to pose a threat to him. Thinking of this, Aslan scowled and reached out for Philip, hoping that Philip could take care of it. After all, he and Lyle were equally strong. If he could not deal with Tom, Lyle
“Tom, if you can take care of this matter, I’ll give you Marina’s hand in marriage. I’m sure the two of you can work together to lead the merfolk to glory.” Everyone was shocked, including Tom, who was in disbelief. No one expected that Moray would ask Tom to marry Marina. Even the fish creatures were shocked. Although they were enemies, they knew that Marina was the merfolk's holy maiden. Tom had been protecting the holy maiden over the years, so he was a servant without a doubt. It was ironic to hear that a servant was worthy enough to marry the holy maiden. Marina was shocked and subconsciously glanced at Philip, who was indifferent about it. After all, it was the merfolk's affairs, nothing to do with him. Philip would not bother even if Marina had to marry an old man. “However, you must prove your ability before you can marry my daughter. If you get the item, I’ll hand her to you.” Moray had been seriously injured before this and could no longer fight normally. The merf
Philip took out a small bottle of elf water from his pocket and handed it to Moby. He wanted to see what the ugly creature would look like after taking the precious elf water. Moby was shocked to see Philip handing him some elf water and felt unworthy of it. At Philip’s insistence, he walked over and respectfully took the small bottle of elf water from Philip. He took a sip cautiously and wanted to marvel at its wonderful taste. Philip felt exasperated at Moby’s caution. Moby probably had no idea how Lyle and the others treated the water. They not only used it to bathe but also drank it casually like normal drinking water. Marina and the others watched with envy. They knew how precious the elf water was, so they were shocked by Philip’s generosity in giving it to the humble fish creatures. Even the merfolk found it difficult to get some elf water, but these lowly creatures got it. No one would be happy at this scene. Philip glanced at everyone. The other fish creatures st
Surprisingly, things turned out this way. However, Marina believed that Philip would not do things to the extreme. There had to be a reason for his actions. “Philip, you promised us first. Are you going to go back on your word and work with the fish creatures instead? They're up to no good. You’ll regret it if you work with them!” Tom was nervous, afraid that he had messed things up. It would be over if Philip decided not to help them anymore. He could already imagine how angry Moray would be. “I only promised to take care of the fish creatures. Now that they've surrendered to me, it’s the same as fulfilling my promise. Do you think otherwise? Now that it’s done, I have no obligation to help you any longer. That’s all I have to say.” Philip shook his head helplessly at the nervous Marina. He thought it was a pity. Marina was a nice person, but she was too young and innocent, full of unnecessary fantasies in her mind. Maybe things would not have turned out this way if she had
“I’m surrendering to the humans, not the merfolk. Who do you think you are?” The chief of the fish creatures knew that he stood a chance to survive if he surrendered to the humans, but they would be dead if they gave in to the merfolk. The merfolk hated their existence and could not wait to kill them. On the other hand, the humans did not have a big grudge against them. At most, he would allow Katie to stab them a few times. Moray scowled at his words and trembled with anger. “Fine, remember your words. You’ll pay the price for what you said today.” He turned away from the chief of the fish creatures' arrogant face and glanced at Philip instead. In his opinion, Philip should at least fulfill his promise. However, Philip paid no heed to him at all. “You should know what I want. I won’t take action if you hand it over of your own accord. Although you’re ugly, at least you never messed with me,” Philip said with a smile. The fish creatures could not refute the fact that they
Tom watched this scene smugly. His plan worked. Although he failed to get Katie’s agreement, he managed to sow discord between Marina and Philip. He could proceed with the next step. Marina was very upset now, so he had to seize the opportunity to intervene. Katie was the center of this fight. It was time for a battle to the death. Philip watched from the sidelines. He would only step forward to provide help when Katie needed it. Otherwise, he would simply keep an eye on her. He wanted to take the opportunity to train her as an ace up his sleeve. The fish creatures were fully prepared to fight Philip and the others, but they had no idea that they were so strong. They thought that the humans had ordinary bodies and could not resist their poison. The fish creatures' venom should be lethal for humans, making them unable to resist. However, these humans seemed indestructible. They had no way to deal with them no matter how hard they tried. “What’s up with these people's bodies?
Tom was counting on Philip to help them deal with the fish creatures. He thought that he could sit back and reap the benefits, but things were not as simple as imagined. Philip would not fall for it so easily. Philip glanced at Tom, disappointed by the eagerness in his eyes. He did not expect that the simple and honest young man would show such a side. At this time, Tom glanced at Katie. He wanted to take the opportunity to win Katie over to his side. “Katie, just look at the ugly side of these people. I begged Philip to bring you to this world back then, so I’m obligated to protect you. Philip is up to no good. I want to take responsibility for what I did back then,” Tom said righteously. Tom felt smug about it, but it was quickly replaced by tension and worry. Katie looked at Tom in confusion, thinking that maybe he was a little unhinged. “You didn’t beg Philip to take me in back then. I was the one who begged him to take me away. “If you hadn't fled to our fishing villag
Moray glanced at Philip with disdain and anger, blaming Philip for everything. He would not have suffered this humiliation if not for Philip. “No matter what, I’ll take care of you right now. Putting aside whether I’m working with humans or not, you’ll die as long as you can’t defeat me.” Moray put up a tough front, feeling annoyed about this. He was embarrassed because of Philip. He vowed to cut off all ties with Philip later and never let anyone know that they worked with humans. Aslan was annoyed by Moray’s unpleasant words. “What do you mean, old man? You behaved differently when you wanted to use us and changed your attitude after using us. Are you burning bridges now?” Aslan with his hot temper knew that the best way to deal with Moray was to condemn him. Moray scowled, surprised that someone dared to complain about him. “What do you mean? Do you think I'm a pushover? You used us to help you deal with the fish creatures, and you want to cut ties with us right after th
